Made some Christmas Presents

3d printed a couple cup of cocoa houses for gifts. They turned out pretty good.

I was sure it was going to involve baby food jars.

Color me impressed. They look very nice.

I didn't realize you could 3D print with a stove.

Just have to get the temp right.

How cute! You could sell those for $25/ea at the craft market.

Did you have to paint them by hand, or does the printer do that as well?

And what make of 3D printer do you use?

Different colored filaments, glued the parts together.

Old CR-10 and a Bambu P1S

Double that easily. People pay $40 for a stupid flexidragon

These were last year's, done entirely on an old CR-10, so slow going.

To expand on my earlier answer, the CR-10 is a good printer, for it's time. I did have to fight with it for about 6 months before I could fully use it's large print surface and get good prints. It took a custom firmware that had manual bed mesh enabled, after that no problems.

Bambu Labs shook things up almost two years ago by making so much automatic and a huge speed increase. The Bambu is capable of automatically doing multicolor, however it has to waste a lot purging to change colors and that takes time, so I prefer to just print one color at a time and assemble. I've only had the Bambu since March, it still isn't a Star Trek replicator and it has a learning curve, but nothing like what printers just two years ago required.

Resin is capable of incredible detail, what's her primary use for it? My primary use is actually prototyping, it just happens to be great at Christmas time.

We got it for $ 25 bucks off of FB Market Place barely used .. we have only printed one thing so far as a test

It is a DnD Gelatinous Cube ...

Just something cheap to learn the Basics

Coworker has a resin printer, he made "gemstones" and they polish up and look pretty good.
